CRiXman

Hello,

Just wanted to get info on drift setup and the main setups, which result in good r/c drifting?

Shocks- hard/soft??
Springs- stiff??
Camber?
Ride height?
ETC..

Thanks for any useful info..

GTO2

setup mainly depends on surface, track & tires you're using.
Here's what i use as general start:
Shock Oil: 0-20
Spring: Med-Med Hard
Camber: 0-
RH: 5mm

Thanks!!

Hey where you get the Civic 92-95 body from!

Know of anywhere to get a CRX body?

GTO2

Tamiya made them, Frewer too. HPI has but mini 1/10..
I don't think there are any CRX shell available/ were made.

thats some smooth stuff were going indoors next friday on carpet the rubbers with tape do you just get some old rubbers and stick the tape round a few times? Is it the whole tyre or just the middle/edges? me and my mate wanna try and get more people into drifting and this seems the best way to do it its cheap and easy to make rather than having to buy drifts

let me add to GTO2's answer, for the diffs have them both open and have the rear about 7.5 more of a turn tighter

just wondering, what chassis are you drifting with?

well ive just finished making my taped rubbers and coool i had it drifting around the house i had loads of blue tape so im drifting on blue wheels cant wait now to take em to the winter series and give em a drift show during the lunch break. Id like to get more local racers into it and if they see how easy it is to make drifts we may soon have a drift heat

We're meeting everyweek at Walt's Hobby Shop in Syracuse, NY just off Intersate 90. For the past few weeks, we've been meeting on Saturdays. With the upcoming race season starting, we'll be meeting on weekdays for practice runs and on Saturdays for promoting the hobby (first 2 or 3 weeks) then we'll start a points series.
